Thanks for that, Funky. I hadn't heard Byrne's statement before. It's a good indicator of where we stand.
Fair point, the marketing drive won't dry up from our end. I know the Glazer's are mad on it, they're driving us across the whole of the Far East, we've penetrated China and Hong Kong and now making huge strides in India. I guarantee you it won't be long before we are playing friendlies out in China/HK/India mid-season. The fabric and soul of the club is slowly dying out but it's being forced on us by Arabs and Russians who chose to blow the entire game wide open.
I read this without looking as to who wrote it and I nearly spat my tea out! Fortunately a quick glance afterwards allayed my potential tea issues
